Discontinued Foods Bracket: Sweet Sixteen

Our first round of the Discontinued Foods Bracket has ended, and we’re down to the Sweet Sixteen. What did we learn from round 1? The Surge supporters are out in force, with several thousand votes for the expired drink, good for 93% against Sprite Remix. While vote margin is no doubt affected by the quality of the opponent, three other products topped 70% in the first round, and are perhaps contenders to keep an eye on – Planter’s Cheez Balls (78%), Snapple Elements (76%) and Crispy M&M’s (70%). Here’s the updated bracket:
